Hello,

I'm a teacher using teams and I would like to be able to schedule posts to my teams, but not on a recurring basis. Just one time posts. Is there a way to do that with the power automate tool? Because it would be very helpful for me to create a post, then have it appear in my students' feed at a particular time. I don't want to have to schedule my day to remember to post at the appropriate time, which is what I do now.

Thanks for your help!

Hi @meganbenn ,

you are absolutely right. There should be a tool to schedule posts so that you don't annoy team mates on weekends or on holidays. By the time MS Viva is taking control of these kind of thoughts in Outlook right now and I think it is a good initiative. In times of home office, we need to respect office hours very strictly (ALL of us: employees AND superiors)
